WEDDERBURN surrendered a slender half-time lead when Calder United came roaring home in the final quarter at Donaldson Park on Saturday.
The new North Central league combine had too much strength, grit and speed as they powered on the goals and left Wedderburn frustrated as tempers flared.
Wedderburn was unable to score despite solid from Mortlock, Cory Lowry, Oscar and Isaac Holt.
Jensen, who been in super form around goals and roaming up the ground had a diminished impact over the last 25 minutes, not through lack of endeavour but sheer strength of a surging Calder United.
Jordan Humphreys would finish the game with five goals for Calder United and been named among the best in a side that is stringing together consistent performances.
However, United was clearly tested by Wedderburn in the first half.
The Redbacks had their trademark arc dominance ticking over better.
That was luring Calder into errors and while leading at the first break, only inaccurcy denied Wedderburn the scoreboard lead.
The second quarter was probably Wedderburn’s best of the day and that was backed up by goals that mattered.
A firey third term was the turning point as Calder lifted with a more physical game, free kicks were awarded a plenty and the Lions staked another claim for flag contention.
